This learned group is dedicated to tasting beers that are difficult to obtain in Central Virginia, or have been cellared into rarity. The majority of these brews will be commercial, but occasionally homebrewed beers will appear if they make sense within, or prove a nice segue between selections.

As usual, coherent notes are not expected to arise from these scholarly sessions.
